WEIGHT: I am not OFFICIALLY stepping on the scales until the end of the month. Next week will be the update.

STORMY ASKS:

Did you reach out to a friend in need? I've already done this on several occasions. However, I did share the oil pulling information with my mother.

Did you take care of yourself? Yes. And no.

Did you hit your goals...? Yes.

What, if anything, would've made this week better? More training and getting back to the second walk of the day instead of letting it go. There are just so many people out there later in the day and I'm just not a people person. Oh, less calories would probably be good too.

WEEK 9 GOALS:

Fitness.... Are you logging enough cardio time? what kind of strength training are you doing...? Probably not. And I'm not doing any strength training at all. Just call me unmotivated in that area.

Food-....Do you plans your meals...? How many fruits and veggies do you shoot for daily? I do not plan my meals per se. All I do is look through recipes and choose a few for the week. I never know what's for a particular day until I start cooking. I don't have a specific number of fruits and veggies. Veggies are included in lunch and supper meals and fruits are included in breakfast and snack time. This will continue.

Fun.... How will you have fun with this week....? I have no idea. Maybe the running will become fun this week. HA!

Friends... Are you giving support to others...? Yes. And no.

WEEK 9 MINI CHALLENGE:

STORMY SAYS: "Up your exercise minutes---> Push yourself a bit more. I know that I need to. If you feel you can't add time.... up your intensity. The goal is to shake things up physically."

Well, I should have known this was coming. And, here it is. Ok. I'll up it. But I won't be happy about it. LOL

Hello Empty Nester just checking in with you. I see your doing an awesome job with this challenge. Glad your going all in with your exercise. I am going to try and up my exercise time and intensity but i'm going to have to squeeze that into to my schedule LOL!! Good luck this week.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

Let's share the laughs of midlife together!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

I listed these gifts ideas back in May (Y'all can read that post HERE ) as good ideas for Empty Nest moms for Mother's Day but the...
